…about Daniel.

1. When you turn on a video camera, he turns into a goofball:

2. Sometimes, not often, but sometimes, he’ll jump up for no reason and start moving around in a funny way. I suppose you could call it “dancing.”

3. He’s super smart. In all the areas that I’m not.

4. He loves both Fergie and Exodus.

5. His favorite radio stations are KDAY, which plays old school hip hop, and Christian talk radio. He generally laughs at one of them. I’ll let you figure out which.

6. He has recently taken up knitting and makes really cool beanies. I’d post a picture but I don’t have any…I’ll work on that.

7. He makes me laugh.

8. He never does anything halfway.

9. He makes me a better person. As irritating as that can be sometimes.

10. He tries to build up the people around him. Consciously tries. And does.

11. He understands me. He knows that when I need time alone it’s not in any way a reflection on my feelings for him.

12. He’s a good dad. And he tries to be. The other day he was asking the kids what he can do to make them feel loved. The answers were things he already does regularly: hug them and tell them he loves them.

13. He shares my taste for bad TV. Tonight we’re watching Criminal Minds. And we’re excited about it.

14. He’s fearless.

15. He actually likes my cooking. And no, there’s no particular reason this comes after #14.

16. He will occasionally admit to liking a chick flick. But only if it in some way is relatable to us. Isn’t that sweet?

17. He’s got amazing hair. And he’ll do unexpected thing with it, like this:

Get a perm

Bleach it white

Get a mullet

18. Need I say more?

19. He once dressed up as a priest for Halloween, and suggested I dress up as a pregnant nun.

(Actually the pregnant part may have been my idea. But note the black hair–we can’t remember him dying it black, but apparently he did!)

20. He’s my favorite person in the whole world.

21. After 21 years of being married, our favorite thing is still to spend time together. Happy anniversary!
